Hi Thomas. My ebay page is below. I'm in the middle of a house move at the moment so only have cassettes for sale www.ebay.co.uk/usr/mowerboy

@@mowerboy7914 Thank you!

Hi Andrew. Yes it's the same QX blade cassette that fits these. Are you looking for 20 inch 10 blade or 20 inch 6 blade? 07768824848 is my number

Hi. I can sharpened the reel by backlapping which is good during the mowing season to keep it sharp. But it's not the same as a lathe grinder so one a year it's worth sending the cassette away to get it professionally done

Got a ring to it. Along with Lord Mick 🤣

It needs to be slightly touching. The paste then causes an even closer contact. You know it's working because of the noise of the ringing. Then take it a notch closer etc

Hi we are in Hixon Stafford now

Fair point. As I said in the video I'm not a battery fan. But this machine is next level. And if we are starved of Petrol in a few years who knows?

Totally agree with you Sir, and the price point is going to kill Allett in the long run. You can’t expect people to associate the classic green and red as the Rolex of lawn mowers, because there are American and Australian manufacturers who are just as good quality or better at slightly lower price points.

It's not easy to buy Allett in Europe. The Germans gave just got a dealership but not sure about elsewhere

Hi Brian it's £850. Andy 07768824848

What do you need Andrew. WhatsApp me 07768824848

Ray you should hear them at 5am 🤣

Thanks for sharing

There is a Lawn Expert video on you tube,he uses Allett mowers. He has just bought a new Kensington with the Honda engine. He is now saying that the Kawasaki engines were problematic,and after a year they will only run on choke,and are hard to start. Have you heard of this?. I have a Kawasaki on my Kensington.

Hi Ray. If looked after properly the Kawasaki is fine. If you use the wrong petrol or leave it in over winter then any mower will struggle. Sounds like he doesn't know how to clean a carb. Having said that the carb on the Kensington is harder to clean than on the Balmoral kawasakis as they switched supplier. Who was the lawn expert. Was it Daniel Hibbert. I rate him but haven't seen any recent videos

Hi. Yes it was Daniel. I always use top grade fuel and also use Briggs and Straton fuel fit and never had a problem.

I just spray with water. But don't often clean the brush as I'm back lapping 3 or 4 times a week

@@mowerboy7914 thank you and that's a lot of back lapping but understandable in your case. :)

I do all the standard stuff Ray with the many things that can go wrong. But I draw the line at taking the engine to bits. But I've switched engines quite a lot and that's no problem

It's a 14 isn't it? Probably worth £220 to £275

Yes I'll get a battery on it. Good point. The Allett Classic was cleaned with wd40 and a course green scouring pad. I buy the 5L wd40 containers which come with a spraying applicator.

@@mowerboy7914 Oh wow that's a serious wash down! Has come up nice! Thanks for that info, not sure the missus would let me do that in our garden though lol :)

If people did that before they sold their mowers they would get 25%+ more

@@mowerboy7914 😃 I may have to give that a go on a small area to start with on my Qualcast 35s I picked up for £60. Maybe next year I'll pick up a much better looking one.

Thanks John. Will look into that. I'm looking at non chemical assistance so seaweed is a good shout

Yes I'll pop a battery in and show that in my 10 blade challenge video

It's a privilege Ray

Hi Richard. If you have a lawn up to 150 sq m then Atco Balmoral 14sk. Bigger than that upto 300 sqm an Atco Balmoral 17sk if you can find one under 500 (fully serviced). Or the Suffolk Punch 17sk. All have the Kawasaki engine

Hi Luke. Yes these type of mowers take several cassettes including scarifier, verticutter, Dethatcher, 10 blade, aerator and lawn brush. Getting them second hand isn't easy (except the scarifier)

@@mowerboy7914 oo sounds exciting and that's good to know as I think a 17" will be too big for my space. Thanks for the help. Subbed!

Yes Ray the aerator needs to be used on soft ground on the lowest height setting. Now is perfect

It's probably the poorest of all the cassettes, I only ever used mine once. Nice tidy machine though, I keep toying with the idea of going battery but I'm still unsure, I still like my Balmoral 20sk.

I'm sorry but these parts are no longer manufactured. You'll need to find one from the guys who buy and break up Balmorals. There is a guy called Spaceman on ebay who may be able to help. I'll get him to contact you

@@mowerboy7914 thank you

you don't have one on one of your machines that doesn't work

@mowerboy7914 what do you recommend to restore the faded plastic to the side of the mower?Thanks

@@user-ip6oq8cj5i After a good clean I use wet and dry sandpaper on the faded area. If there are scratch marks then a coarser grade of normal sandpaper first (test via the underneath of the side panel). I then spray with clear lacquer. 3 coats. I do the same with the petrol tank and any other plastic parts

Hi I did a video on it. Here you go kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXzMZ4FpiJ6ja5I

Yes if it's not a very old Suffolk Punch. Certainly the Kawasaki ones take all the cassettes

You may be right. Have you got a pic of yours that you could share?

The Suffolk Punch due to the Kawasaki engine. They are both very good mowers. If I was asked about the Atco Balmoral 14sk vs Suffolk Punch 14sk I would always go for the Atco as it us such a quality build and finish

@mowerboy7914 and what about the qualcast 43s are they any good?

@@thetruthfulone73 the 43S are a good solid mower that will leave nice stripes on your lawn. I personally don't buy and sell them as there isn't much money in it

@@mowerboy7914 great thanks for ur help and advice
